Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry

When you have the opportunity to play with not one, but TWO of your sons in the NBA… can LeBron hang on long enough to make that a reality? Rob would love to see it but thinks he just plays too hard to go that long. Plus with the Taylor Swift and Brittney Mahomes handshake went viral, we want to know if Rob ever had a handshake with other NBA players. And the funniest story of the week was the Rock’s wax figure that looked nothing like the Rock – which prompts Rob to break out the bobbleheads he has that look nothing like him either, including one that looks more like Chris Brown than Robert Horry. We also joke about Marc Davis’s terrible dancing after the Las Vegas Aces won their second WNBA title, how we would survive World War 3 if the world collapsed, and a hilarious kids book written by Big Shot listeners about lessons we’ve learned from NBA players!

It’s OPENING NIGHT for the NBA!! And Rob is not working, so he gets to hang back and watch the Lakers attempt to stop the Nuggets on ring night, and how Golden State (especially Klay) come out and play against the new-look Phoenix Suns. And there will be nothing better than James Harden skipping Sixers practice all week, not showing up for preseason, then rolling in to Opening Night on Thursday in Milwaukee and dropping 40… which we all think could happen! Plus as the season tips off we really take a look at Wemby’s game and how we are all now starting to buy the hype and understanding the buzz around him going into the Draft. Rob also weighs in on what he expects from Russell Westbrook this season after setting a high bar for himself, and what will it take for the Clippers to build a fan base that can carry them through not just this season but into a new arena. And we take a look at the extension that Giannis just signed, what it means for his future in Milwaukee and the kind of deal he might be waiting for. We also debate whether the Patriots should fire the legend Bill Belichick after a very rough start to their season, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and a fun round of Halloween shenanigans called “You Scared Bro?”

Our second show of the week opens with gamer talk, what Rob is playing at the moment and how hard it has become to carve out gaming time as we get older. We also dive into Aaron Rodgers making a return to Jets camp and walking around without crutches only FIVE weeks after he tore his Achilles. It leads us into a wild conversation about injuries Rob suffered, and shared a story about how someone tore his EYELID during a basketball game?! We also get into some heart talk, send some love to Shaq and AI for their new deals at Reebok, and pictures that we’ll always cherish and never forget. Everyone gives their picks for Most Improved Player of the coming season, as the odds have hit for that, and we close it out with college football and an assessment of the Deion Sanders hype now that Colorado is losing.

We open show 135 with Rob continuing to deny that his nudge got Dez Bryant kicked off of World’s Toughest Test. We’ll never let him live it down. And while we aren’t thrilled about starting the show with Dillon Brooks, it’s clear to everyone that he’s trying way too hard to make a name for himself, even though Rob says he didn’t think that shot to the groin was intentional. We also get some early impressions of Dame and Giannis on the floor together, as Rob is anxious to see how it comes together in a full game, because every marriage is good for the first five or six months. Jason Tatum’s top five scorers comes up for debate amongst the show – he listed KD, Booker, Kyrie and Paul George as his Top 5 – and of course everyone wants to weigh in with players that he missed. We also break down the top players by position, debate whether Tim Duncan is a 4 or a 5, and try to figure out what centers are left in the NBA today. And will Klay Thompson head to free agency? The Big Shot of the Week goes to Floyd “Money” Mayweather for helping Israeli citizens in the middle of a terrible war. And we close out the show with a round of Shot Clock, and replay last week’s NBA Emoji Game since last week’s show was somehow eaten by the internet.

We’re back for the Friday bonus show! And as the season closes in, we open with Rob and B-Dog trying to guess the most expensive NBA payrolls going into the year. And there are some surprises in the Top 10! Listeners want to know from Rob what it’s like getting a season started, and Rob talks about going into camp for the Rockets, the Lakers and the Spurs and how the experiences were all so different. Plus after Will Ferrell DJ’d a frat party before USC and Arizona last weekend, we talk about what celebrities we’d love to hang out with. One question that raises good debate was sent in from Twitter – who would you rather start a team and build around, Jokic or Giannis? And with a new Exorcist movie in theaters, and Halloween in full swing, we ask Rob about his favorite scary movies.

We open the show by talking about Rob bowing out on World’s Toughest Test, why it happened, and what kind of prep goes into doing a physical show like that. Plus Rob jokes about reality shows that we WOULD do, and Jenners could not do shows like Amazing Race and Rob reveals that him and Rick Fox got an offer to compete on that show and couldn’t do it since Rick isn’t an American citizen.  And we discuss how much stock Rob puts into the preseason and what he looks for from a squad that’s coming together. And it’s our full season preview as we discuss what we think will happen in the West, who wins the East, Rookie of the Year and who wins it all. Plus some unexpected Dwight Howard lobbying by both Rob and B-Dog, and Rob in convinced that AD could win MFP this season.

Rob takes us behind the scenes of World’s Toughest Test and how it really goes down when the cameras are off, after he got Dez Bryant bounced from the show this past week. And with the passing of both Rob and Jenners fathers, we share some of our favorite family drama stories. Plus after Draymond Green got called an “expensive backpack” by Jordan Poole we joke about the worst insults we’ve ever received, and a listener question wants Rob’s take on the new Star Wars shows. We also talk about the top rated NBA duos as voted by fans and debate whether James Harden even plays a single game for the 76ers this season. And finally did we sell out too fast on Tua in Miami? And who is Rob rooting for in the MLB playoffs?

We are back from a short break, after Rob got caught up doing media for World’s Toughest Test and Jenners lost his dad… and we immediately get onto Rob about nudging Dez Bryant into the challenge that got him kicked off the show. Plus Rob takes us behind the scenes of the show and how some of those impossible challenges really came into play. Rob also thinks that Dame to the Bucks could become scary for the East if he can play off the ball a bit more, and he also believes that the new “Big 3” in Boston can work really well for Boston. Plus “Emo” Jimmy Butler gets some laughs during NBA Media Days, and Rob has praise for Anthony Davis after stating he wants to play in all 82 games. We also touch on some of the college football madness from the last week, offer up a special Big Shot of the Week, and play another classic round of Rapid Fire.

We are a little late this week because Rob has been out doing press for “World’s Toughest Test” which debuts Monday night on Fox! Rob gives us a preview of what to expect and talks about just how brutal the conditions were. Plus we try to figure out what happens with both James Harden and Dame Lillard, since both seem to be stuck in a trade standstill with their respective teams. Rob also says that the Bucks DO indeed need to sign Jrue Holiday to keep Giannis because they won’t be able to afford a rebuild. And of course the definition of a “star” comes into debate, and how many “superstars” are really in the league. The curse of Big Shot Bob plagues Alabama as they slip to 13 and we wonder what is happening with NicK Saban’s quarterback acumen. We close out with some AMAZING audio of the week from a witness that saw the vanished F-35 zip by, give out an inspiring Big Shot of the Week to a couple of firefighters, and another great round of Black Crime or White Crime.

After the wild fallout from Noah Lyles “World Champs” comments, we hear how it felt to him to have the entire NBA come for him, including Drake who he tells to go home! NBA 2K24 gets our tin foil hats on as they have commentary from the game with Dame Lillard already in Miami, we find out Rob only plays as HIMSELF in 2K, and Rob and B-Dog see if they can guess the top-rated 2K24 players by their game ranking. We also recall our biggest brain farts after the Marlins ball boy picked up a Freddie Freeman double and threw it into the stands.  We also close out with some listener questions about sacrifices, the upcoming Olympic team and a weird debate about what pop culture character we would choose to protect us.
